Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 can dulce de Leche 14 ounce
- 4 ½ cups dry roasted salted peanuts divided
- 2 packages Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers 16 ounce each
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth. Add in peanut butter and dulce de leche. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Fold in 4 cups peanuts.
- Scoop by large tablespoon onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 2-4 hours.
- Melt white chocolate wafers according to package directions in a clear glass bowl.
- Using a toothpick, dip each frozen truffle into the melted white chocolate, tapping side of the bowl to remove excess. Return to parchment paper lined baking sheet and immediately press on a peanut (or two) to cover the toothpick holes. Repeat until all truffles have been dipped.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Notes
- We love using Ghirardelli melting wafers in place of white chocolate chips. They melt smoother and taste amazing.
- Substitute the white chocolate wafers for milk, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate wafers instead!
